First Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Gameplay Trailer

A massive leak pushed Activision to publish a few teaser trailers for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 early, but it's back to the marketing battle plan tonight when the world premier gameplay trailer for the anticipated shooter airs during the NBA Western Conference Finals.

Noted in the four different teaser trailers set in New York, Paris, Berlin, and London and confirmed today by Infinity Ward, the first MW3 gameplay trailer is set for a 6 p.m. PST debut on ESPN during game 4 of the Dallas versus Oklahoma City showdown.

Meanwhile, at the Twitter account of Infinity Ward Creative Strategist Robert Bowling, a healthy Q&A about the upcoming game has been ongoing since the teasers debuted last week.

Among other things, Bowling has confirmed MW3 is set to ship on November 8, announced the official MW3 forum will open after the trailer airs tonight, and revealed Infinity Ward has "moved beyond the MW2 engine and added a lot of cool stuff for MW3."

Sharkey says: I'm not sure what Bowling's job as Creative Strategist officially entails, but answering questions on Twitter appears to be near the top of his list of responsibilities. If you have a question, it looks like there's a strong chance you'll get a response from Bowling, so fire away. We'll have the trailer up for you as soon as we get our hands on it.
